In the Austin American Statesman, there is an editorial that discusses the changes that are happening in the Texas House of Representatives. The author sees these changes as a “breath of fresh air to the Capitol.” The new Speaker of the House, Joe Straus, a Republican from San Antonio, will bring an younger, more bipartisan attitude to the House. The former Speaker, Tom Craddick, a Republican from Midland, has served as Speaker of the House for three terms. The author is really excited that these changes are happening. With this new Speaker, and an almost split evenly House, we will have a much better representation and hopefully the work that is produced in the House will be improved. With the recent realignment in Washington, we see our own state government move towards being bipartisan. Check our this editorial and see if these changes will be good for our state.
